With my first baby crawling around, plain cheerios was a good snack of choice for baby around the age of 8 months. Any and all snacks were given in a very clean high chair with a bib. Anything fallen on the ground was quickly discarded.

I just noticed my last baby (fourth kid) crawling around on the floor and saw him heading toward a few honey nut cheerios on the floor and thought "oh good, he will be occupied for a little while!"
